Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done correctly . Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that people usually find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works very well. You'll find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this may seem to be a bit uninteresting, readers like it as it is easy, straight-forward and simple to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Permitting for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a bonus for most designs. White space is as crucial as the layout itself. Graphics should be used to improve the layout as elements that add to what is written on the page. It should be used as an extension of the text and should lend to further lucidity about the subject. Graphics shouldn't overtake what is being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear. Using Fonts There's a standard for fonts that have worked well since prior to the World Wide Web commenced. In print design, paperspapers and mags, the fusion of Serif types for announcements and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the finest choice because they are less difficult to read on the screen. Up till just recently monitor resolution has not been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it would blur together making reading more troublesome. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for reports and Sans-serif for text ). The second thing to keep in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good site design is straightforward to read. You may use some decorative type font, but it'll play down the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible. In site design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy to read, Sans-serif and excellent for all website designs. ![]()
